What These Numbers Mean for Houma Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Houma market where the balance of leverage is genuinely mixed, and reading the competitive indicators together matters more than any single number. Median sale prices have moved +31.6% year over year to $234,888, yet homes are taking a median of 102 days to sell, a +19 days change in market time. With 6.9 months of supply and 143 active listings against 21 monthly sales, Houma sits close to a balanced market rather than a clear seller's or buyer's market.
The deeper signal is in the spread between competing indicators. Roughly 14.5% of homes sold above list and 17.9% went under contract within two weeks, which shows well-priced, move-in-ready listings still draw fast, competitive interest. At the same time, 41.7% of listings recorded a price cut, evidence that overpriced homes stall and reset. That split, combined with an average sale-to-list ratio of 95.55%, tells a buyer to negotiate hardest on listings that have aged past the median and to move quickly (near asking) on fresh inventory. For a seller, it argues for disciplined pricing from day one, since the data punishes ambitious list prices with longer timelines.
Navigating a market with this much internal variation rewards local judgment. Houma has 266 licensed agents, but performance across them varies widely, which is why matching with a verified, data-ranked agent measurably narrows the gap between listing and closing outcomes.

What to Look for in a Houma Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines results: transaction volume, negotiation record, and consistency across price points. In a market where 41.7% of listings cut price while 14.5% still close above asking, the difference between agents shows up directly in a client's bottom line. Among the 26 EffectiveAgents-ranked professionals serving Houma, Tiffany Rabalais at Premiere Properties of the South stands out, with 1,781 career transactions and $154.9M in all-time sales volume. That depth matters when pricing and negotiating across distinct submarkets like 70360, 70363, and 70364, where inventory and buyer demand do not move in lockstep. An agent who has closed at scale reads the current sale-to-list ratio of 95.55% as a strategy input, not just a statistic, knowing when to hold firm and when to counter. Review patterns reinforce the record: 85 verified reviews indicate sustained client satisfaction over many cycles, a more reliable signal than a handful of recent testimonials.
How We Rank Houma Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Houma market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Houma Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Houma, LA?
There is no single best agent for every situation, but the data-ranked leader in Houma, LA is Tiffany Rabalais at Premiere Properties of the South, with 1,781 career transactions and 85 verified reviews. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using measured outcomes (closed transaction volume, sales history, and review patterns) rather than advertising spend. Across the 266 licensed agents in the market, only 26 meet the ranking threshold. The right match depends on your price point, timeline, and neighborhood, so compare several ranked agents before deciding.
How were these Houma real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Houma?
Our data covers 266 real estate agents serving the Houma area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Houma market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Houma mean for sellers?
Houma's median sale price is $234,888 as of September 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Houma?
The median home in Houma currently takes 102 days to sell, reflecting a +19 days change in market time versus last year. That figure is a midpoint, not a guarantee. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes still move faster, with 17.9% of listings going under contract within two weeks, while overpriced homes stall (reflected in the 41.7% of listings that cut price). Condition, accurate initial pricing, location within Houma, and marketing quality all shift the timeline. Pricing correctly from day one is the single largest factor in selling near the median.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Houma realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Houma agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Houma neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Houma realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Houma in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
